ARK SURVIVAL Evolved is getting a big update on PS4 and Xbox One, which will include the ARK Ragnarok mod and some more release date content.

UPDATE ONE: ARK Survival Evolved has now launched in its full version on PS4, Xbox One and PC.

As you might expect, the release date proved pretty hectic, with new servers going live for consoles.

Developers Studio Wildcard have now confirmed that Xbox One and PS4 official servers are going live now, although there could still be a small delay for PlayStation players.

Both the legacy and new servers will starting appearing in server browser menus and is one of the last crucial pieces to this week’s launch.

Wildcard have also revealed that the Tek Shield and Sword mentioned below will be deploying later this week.

In a new Day One announcement, the development set out some of their goals for the future, adding: “It won't be long before we add two new members to our ever growing family of critters (with the Otter joining us today on PC, with the Phoenix and additional Tek Gear coming later this week!), as well as items, additional gameplay elements and more.

“ARK has only just scratched the surface, and there is a long future ahead, survivors everywhere will get to experience something out of this world.

“Rest assured this complete version of the game will still be receiving regular updates, and this is not the end of the ARK saga, but only the beginning of the next phase, for great adventures and awe-inspiring new experiences are just around the corner.”

ALL the new content from the latest ARK Survival Evolved updates.

Both the Tek Shield and Tek Sword are being added to the game, while fans can also look forward to the Otter and Phoenix companions arriving on The Island.

August 29 will also see the game leave early access, although there’s still going to be some pretty big ARK Survival Evolved updates coming our way.

“ARK will continue to grow with new content at launch and beyond as we continue to have a behemoth amount of additional gameplay, creatures, and story elements in the works,” a message from Studio Wildcard teases.

“With every Explorer Note you've discovered on the Island a piece of the story has come along with it.

“Every artifact, every apex drops, every boss battle, it has all been leading up to this moment.

The ARK Survival Evolved Ragnarok mod is already out for PC and will soon be arriving on PS4 and Xbox One.

“Now it's time to understand the bigger picture and begin to discover why every Survivor wakes up on the beach with a diamond shaped implant in their arm.”

Tomorrow will also see the launch of the new ARK Ragnarok mod, which offers a new map and new creatures to battle.

While currently available on PC, PS4 and Xbox One players have been waiting sometime to play the new full-conversion experience.

Unlike the full game, Ragnarok has been developed by the former creators of popular ARK mods Valhalla and Umassoura.

It too will also be supported by new updates, which will add more content over the coming months.

Wildcard recently confirmed that ARK's August 29 launch update, in addition to the new content and Ragnarok, will reintroduce non-dedicated online splitscreen support.

Studio Wildcard haven't provided a set launch time for the new servers coming to the game but have revealed that the Official Server Network will be taken down at 5am BST on August 29, and will remain down for approximately 8 hours, with official servers coming back online at 1pm BST.
